And think: she wanted storms. The rim

Her work was condemned and censored by Soviet authorities and she notably chose not to emigrate, but remained in Russia, acting as witness to the difficulties of living and writing in the shadow of Stalinism.

And for the first time ever,
You called me by my name."
